Citations in the corpus

• “Fixing” Climate Change by Mortgaging the Future: Negative Emissions, Spatiotemporal Fixes, and the Political Economy of Delay (2019, unknown): “The negative emissions concept in this way helps in “ masking political inaction ” (Geden 2016:794) and serves to legitimise mainstream climate policy in the face of 30 years of institutionalised delay.”
• Three Decades of Climate Mitigation: Why Haven't We Bent the Global Emissions Curve? (2021, unknown): “The future option of large-scale CDR provides a justification for incremental business-as-usual climate policies, thus averting a political reckoning of the historical failure to bend emissions curves, and thereby precluding any change in policy direction (108).”
• Towards a cultural political economy of mitigation deterrence by negative emissions technologies (NETs) (2018, background): “This has helped sustain high-level policy conclusions (most recently in Paris [10]) that climate targets can be met through a managed transition based on energy efficiency, low-carbon energy technologies and NETs, without abrupt and (politically and economically) disruptive transformations in energy”
• The political economy of negative emissions technologies: consequences for international policy design (2018, background): “These technologies remain very costly and are largely untested (Geden, 2016) and political support of the constituent technologies such as carbon capture and storage (CCS) has been lacklustre (Lipponen et al., 2017).”
